Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • timeman2012 Adam Jackson (@timeman2012) reported

    @AdamGrenade Aren't the Overwatch servers been shut down so they can focus on the 2nd game that won't log you in and make you wait in a queue just to repeat the cycle (queue, error, queue, error)

  • danmcCoy3 THE GREAT TOM CRUISE SHIP (@danmcCoy3) reported

    With how the overwatch servers are going, it would seem this DDOS attack isn't just to troll and disrupt service, it looks like its deliberately seeking to inflict damage on the servers. The only other game that had this happen and utterly destroy the servers was chrome hounds 06

  • MilkyDidelphisV Opossum Milk 🦀 (@MilkyDidelphisV) reported

    @MarioPrime How many people were actually gonna buy a prepaid burner just to cheat at overwatch? Feels like it’s solving a problem that wasn’t really a thing in the first place

  • QuirkscrewTV QuirkScrew | 🎮 Multiversus (@QuirkscrewTV) reported

    The Overwatch 2 servers STILL being awful is so crazy. It’s been 24 HOURS and the only difference is that less people are in a queue that inevitably ends in connection errors. Insane

  • Katorze11 Katorze (@Katorze11) reported

    i don’t usually like to post stuff like this, but since overwatch is my happiness i will. this whole progress loss glitch is getting on my last nerve, as well as the fact that i can’t even get into the game 95% of the time because of the servers to see if i have my progress back.

  • FatMysteryyy Mátt 💜 (@FatMysteryyy) reported

    @NaomiWiren @BlizzardCSEU_EN Yeah, they are completely swamped with tickets from the launch of 2 WoW expansions and overwatch 2 and the phone issues they have way more tickets than workers to get through it’s been rough for sure

  • Kairiki_Bear_TC Kairiki "The Best" Bear (@Kairiki_Bear_TC) reported

    People are getting upset at OW2 for the long queue times, errors, etc, but you guys do realize that high traffic does this to games, right? It's not Blizzard's fault at this point - they're not doing this on purpose. DDoS attacks from people who want you to be mad at Overwatch.

  • TheRealJumbobo Fut SBC King (@TheRealJumbobo) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @ATVI_AB @XboxSupport Is there a fix for those that bought the Watchpoint Pack during beta and it not showing in Overwatch 2??

  • huntsaling Hunter Saling (@huntsaling) reported

    Cannot even click the account merge button in Overwatch OW2. I bet it’s down to fix issues but i Hope i can keep my xbox stuff @BlizzardCS @ATVI_AB

  • SheepB0T SheepB0T  (@SheepB0T) reported

    @Overson_ Acutely, yes but this is stuff that should have been ironed out in beta. It’s not really a one of the other thing. Again….this is overwatch one with a new title graphic, some maps and a couple new characters, not a new game. When it said OW1, it didn’t have this issue.

  • jessemeowman rory | FINALLY GOT INTO OW2 (@jessemeowman) reported

    gonna be honest i have never been as dedicated to something as i was about getting into overwatch 2 lmao, like aint no way i waited literally all day in a ******* queue but it was worth it and i hope they get the issue resolved for everyone soon because its so fun

  • DemonHunterRick Ricky G🦋 (@DemonHunterRick) reported

    Just woke up about an hour ago Stayed up to 4:30am playing Overwatch 2 but I also truly did it to test my sleeping problems and I was right After months of trying, I finally got 8 hours of sleep. Now I know it's definitely possible. I just need to find a way to shift the hours

  • k1mberlyxoo kim ashley (@k1mberlyxoo) reported

    overwatch 2 or blizzard, fix your **** rn, tryna grind rn 😔

  • RyanYounglove Ry Guy (@RyanYounglove) reported

    Played Overwatch 2 just fine this morning. now I’m waiting in a Queue of 800+ people only to get an error message and then when I go to try again the Queue jumps up another 200 people ……

  • We_Are_Contra Contra Mundum Media (@We_Are_Contra) reported

    I'm now convinced that Overwatch 2 is not actually a team shooter. It's some sort of meta game, sort of like the Stanley Parable. It consists only of a loading screen and various error messages. Very high concept and bold of Blizzard.

  • mangojuulpod66 mangojuulpod66 (@mangojuulpod66) reported

    **** THIS I WAS WAITING IN A QUEUE FOR OVER 20 MINUTES AND AS SOON AS IT GOT TO THE LAST FEW PEOPLE IT ******* GAVE ME AN ERROR I HATE OVERWATCH 2

  • Skyler27896951 kirito (@Skyler27896951) reported

    @PlayOverwatch There is some kind of bug or glitch but all my overwatch one heroes are not available to me and I’ve played overwatch one And it won’t even show the hero challenges for me anyone else having the same problem

  • MALACHY_Officia Malachy570_Official (@MALACHY_Officia) reported

    @EliLikesRice i never played overwatch. i was planning on playing overwatch 2 this weekend, but, ik i'll only get stuck playing with the basic heroes cause i don't have money for both things i need, as well as for every season's pass. it was a problem when warzone came out, (1/2)

  • ConflictBTW Adxpt Conflict (@ConflictBTW) reported

  • RyzeKing5 Ryze (@RyzeKing5) reported

  • Adamma87 Adamma 🦏❤️‍🩹 (@Adamma87) reported

    @itsblanaba The problem is, overwatch was and is a very abusive game plan and it just proving point with every decision making.

  • drewbear84 Andy Medlyn (@drewbear84) reported

    @thisisgilbs Yeah, some stories haven't been loading for me and now had a problem with posting to my timeline. Getting the feeling that everything is slowly falling apart... Well, IG and Overwatch mainly lol

  • Keggo27 Keegan Lahl (3-1) (@Keggo27) reported

    @luvedyacht You are the problem with overwatch that’s why the game died

  • QuinWafflz QuinWafflz (@QuinWafflz) reported

    My favourite thing about Overwatch 2 is how now every time I start the game it finds a new way to disconnect me. Wait 2 hours in queue to get an error. Instantly skip the queue and get booted in my first game. Who knows what I'll get.

  • thechesstwo Raven/Catwoman for Multiversus (@thechesstwo) reported

    Beuh if you login overwatch dont close it till you sleep

  • k1mberlyxoo kim ashley (@k1mberlyxoo) reported
